Screen Culture: Singapore-Spain-Italy co-production The Violinist won the animation prize at the Asia Pacific Screen Awards; Thai-Singapore co-production 9 Temples to Heaven took best director. Books & Identity: Singaporean Malayalee writer Anitha Devi Pillai’s new collection pairs stories about community life with family recipes. A look back at Catherine Lim’s 1980s stories finds her still poking at the “blemishes” in Singapore’s national image.

Hougang Mall’s new Legendary Hong Kong Cafe brings cha chaan teng dishes to the heartland. Growing Up: Male preschool teachers are challenging gender stereotypes in the classroom; their numbers rose to 300 in 2025, but they remain about 1% of the sector. What’s On: Singapore’s arts calendar through Nov 8 includes exhibitions, a makers’ market and the Singapore Clay Festival.
